AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional and highly decorative pair of antique religious figure candlesticks (devotionalia) from the prestigious Belgian crystal and glassworks, Val Saint Lambert. Designed during the late Art Nouveau / early Art Deco transition, this iconic model is officially archived and listed in the famous Val Saint Lambert 1913 sales catalogue under Planche 35 (Nos. 19 and 20) as the "Sacré Coeur de Jésus et Marie".
Both figures are beautifully executed in molded-pressed glass with a distinctive matte satin/sandblasted finish. This matte texture creates a striking artistic contrast against the clear, glossy light transmission of the top nozzles and bases.
The stately, richly decorated three-legged base is a signature feature of this series, beautifully detailed with three cherub/angel heads (putti) holding up elements that symbolize the three theological virtues: Faith, Hope, and Love.
St Mary:
H: 29 cm W: 14 cm D: 13,5 cm weight: 753 g
